At Lady Gadget Blog we are firm believers that technology should not just be confined to the home or your pockets, so we decided to a take a trip out to the big wide world (Central London) and see what we could discover for ourselves.

Now, we’ve had something of a video-arcade- game phobia since we watched Tron, but in the name of research, somehow managed to overcome it.

We had a go on Guitar hero where we played Coldplay on Easy so as not to embarrass ourselves too much, still got a bit carried away though. Then we went on a generic (or so we thought) racing game which turned out to be a more fun with a moving seat(!) Next was a zombie shooting game, which had so much story that I only managed to shoot about 5 zombies before the time ran out. Jockey Club really brought the outdoors inside, with a genuine (plastic) horse; however, I’m pretty sure I looked like a complete fool. Sadly I wasn’t the winner of the Grand National, never mind, practice makes perfect. The last one we went on was a simulator, sadly we were unable to film due to safety restrictions, though it wouldn’t have been much use as our screams were deafening.

£15 later, we emerged, feeling a little less rich, but a lot more enriched…well until the adrenaline wore off.
